What do you think causes it?

Genes or your upbringing?

Upbringing probably, also just a preference. Kind of like prefering blondes or brunettes.

I'm a big supporter of gay rights. Even though I'm supportive and accepting of homosexuality, I find it hard to believe that lots of people are born gay. I think it more something you become early or late in life. I don't think that anyone really comes out of the womb being aroused only by men and not women. But there's no doubt in my mind that plenty of people discover it in their early childhood years

i feel the same way dude.

i've got a freind who's gay. i don't treat him any differently because of that. i wouldn't be pissed off if he flirted with me. i'd just tell him i'm not into that.

but it could be genetics or upbringing. have their been any studies done on the subject?

[nature scene]

there may possibly be a genetic disposition, but i think that upbringing plays the largest role.

genetics.


or magic.

I was talking to my friend Mike and he asked me if I've had any bad experiences with guys ..I told him that I did and asked him how he knew that, he said it's because I'm bi. Apparantly in his experience most girls who are bi have had bad experiences with guys at an early age.
So basically I think that it has to do with things that happen early in life in some cases, could be genetics in others, could be a lot of things. I'm a very strong supporter of gay rights and the like, and whenever I see someone being made fun of for being gay it makes me very upset (I just found this out because I saw it on a TV show/movie a in health). It also pisses me off when I see displays of homophobia in school, one time we were talking about Romeo & Juliet and Shakespeare times in English, and about how there were no actresses and someone (whom I really hated prior to this, and now hate even more) blurted out "EW SO A GUY ACTUALLY HAD TO KISS ANOTHER GUY?? GROSSS." Then a bunch of other people started saying things that I would expect a 4th grader to say, and my friend Stephanie (whom I love dearly for this) said something about them being stupid and immature.
You could be walking down the street and anyone could be gay, but you (in most cases) wouldn't know it because they're just like everyone else. People who say that "all gays have AIDs" are ignorant, and the ones who think that all the gays are going to try to rape them are full of themselves, although that has happened, it's also happened with straights so it's hypocritical.
I guess that's it for my rant~

same here, except it's the other way (or the same way..). but pron is pron and that's a whole oher thread.

the last debate i was in over it, we came to the answer it was both.

i don't really care if someone's gay or not. i'm just for human rights in general.

[Alex's Trip]

I hate it when people rag on Brokeback Mountain just because it had gay people in it. It is stupid.

How can it be both? If it was genetic the other wouldn't matter. Therefor not both.
